Sizing -
Since there are many breeds and types of dogs, it is extremely important that you always measure your dog first, before getting a personalized dog collar, so that you do not get the wrong size.
Dog’s collars are measured in inches, and most often the bigger the dog, the larger their collar, however this is not always the case, but keep the following chart in mind:
- “Toy sized dogs”, 8-9in
- small sized dogs, 10-14 inches
- Small to medium dogs, 14 to16 in
- Medium dogs, 16 to 18 inches
- Large, 20-22 in
- Very Large Breeds, 22 to 24 inches
The common width for most collars is ? of an inch to around 1 inch, but they can be customized, of course to be more or less.
Jack Russels, Shelties and other similar sized dogs most often fall into the “small dog” category, as most have a neck circumference of about 10-14 in; which should help you to scale where your dog fits into the chart. Dogs such as labs and retrievers can fall anywhere between 14-20inches which means they could have a small collar, or a large collar depending on their neck circumference, and this is why you should always measure your dog’s size to make sure that his/her collar can fit adequately.
